From Projects to Value: The Power of Composable Commerce

Many businesses still operate in a project-driven model—finite budgets, fixed scope, and rigid timelines. But does that really drive long-term value?Shifting to a customer-centric, value-stream approach allows teams to continuously deliver, iterate, and innovate. Composable commerce and MACH technology play a crucial role in enabling this transformation, offering the agility needed to adapt to evolving customer needs.So, how can organizations truly embrace this change? It’s not just about tech: it’s about leadership, culture, governance, and data-driven decision-making.What’s been your biggest challenge (or win!) in adopting a more customer-led, composable approach? Let’s discuss!

How are you improving your client's customer experience in 2025?

A couple of years ago, some people thought brick-and-mortar stores were a thing of the past and that the future of commerce was online shopping.In 2025, we know better. People love to shop online, but prefer to return items in store (yup, that’s me! 😅), others enjoy to check items online but prefer to pay a visit to the store to see the product on the flesh or maybe even try it on. Sounds familiar? For that reason, offering fast, easy, and fun shopping experiences is key to happy and loyal customers, and the solution is none other than seamless omnichannel experiences. And since it’s the beginning of the year, I wanted to ask you:

Idea - Configure Notifications for CoFe CI/CD

The CoFe CI/CD is a great tool for managing builds and deployments. https://docs.commercetools.com/frontend-studio/using-the-ci-area That said, one thing it’s missing is notifications. It’d be super helpful to have settings where we could hook into a Slack channel or an email list to get updates for events like failed builds. This isn’t about reinventing the wheel—most CI/CD tools already do this out of the box. Adding it here seems like a simple win that could make a big difference. For comparison, Netlify already does this for frontend builds, but it’s oddly missing for backend builds in CoFe.

Research for adding Cart Change History

Hi All,I am the product manager for Audit Log Change History and Audit Log Premium.  We often get asked about covering carts in change history.  Carts can only be interacted with via API and therefore only make sense as an add-on to the Audit Log Premium license. Carts have high rates of change and to cover carts in change history would create more change records than all currently covered resources.  To help us judge whether it makes sense to invest in building cart change history, we have a few questions.If cart change history was an option that could be added to Audit Log Premium for an additional fee:How long would cart change history records need to be stored? Would 30 days be enough?  Would your company be willing to pay extra to have cart change history in addition to the Audit Log Premium fee? How would your team use cart change history?

Discovery and research for Change History API to have query predicates

Hi All,I am the product manager for Audit Log Change History and Audit Log Premium.  My team is starting a discovery and research effort to understand what our customers would like to be able to query by in the Change History API or filter by in Merchant Center Change History. We want to discover how your developers might use query predicates if we add this functionality to the Change History API.  Query predicates would also enable more filtering capabilities from the Merchant Center > Audit Log>Change History page.  How your Merchant Center business users would like to filter Change History is equally important.An example of one of the most common requests:When I select the changes filter, I want to filter on Changes when Channel has Change custom field, but then I want to go one step further and specify a custom field. I only care about changes to a specific custom field on channels and I don’t want to build code that throws out change records for other custom fields.Please le

Are you using Connectors ?

Are you using commercetools connect apps that are published by 3rd parties? Definitely awesome set of connects available for use to connect with your regular integrations - Klaviyo, Stripe, etc., I find them very good but I also see that in the recent times there are issues trying to deploy them as they are not kept uptodate (commercetools seem to have changed something on their end in the Publishing process) probably because of different priorities from the Integrators who have published this? Shouldnt commercetools validate them once in a while and mark them as stale or inform the integrators so they can publish an updated version of their connect apps? We have been really struggling to get the above working. The publication fails with minimal error info and its difficult to understand what went wrong - the commercetools cli with connect validate option doesnt work in Windows and inconsistent in Mac - with little or no documentation. Any one else using these or other connect apps and

What's underneath commercetools?

I was telling a colleague about commercetools. It is in his nature to ask many questions which I was happy to answer from my experince with commercetools.However, there was one question I could not find an answer to: What programming language does commercetools use under the hood? What other technologies does it use?Of course, with API first that doesn’t really matter. It is however interesting to know!Side note: I then talked to another colleague who also uses commercetools - we noticed that even the common signs you get when using an API that hint towards a language (e.g. certain formatting in error messages) don’t exist in commercetools. So congrats on a job well done!

Assign products to categories in bulk within Merchant Center.

It will be great to assign categories to multiple products in bulk inside merchant center, similar to the existing bulk set of attributes but for categories.This is of course possible with APIs but is a missing feature in Merchant Center.
